Deathwing Knights commission

Today's post is to show a squad of Deathwing Knights I have just finished, for a commission of a single squad together with Belial.

The models were great fun to build and paint, and literally drip detail. They have so many interesting bits - such as the Dark Angel iconography on the shoulder pads (reflected in each shield).

Here is the squad front and back.

The sergeant is a particularly imposing model, equipped with an intimidating flail. I can see the cape being a sought after bit for loyalist captain models in terminator armour....

And here are the close-ups of the rest of the squad - the first is my personal favourite; this marine wears a rebreather and you can barely see anything of his face, and I think that captures the moody nature of the Dark Angels...

1. Spray white undercoat2. Basecoat entire model with Ushabti Bone (the spray bone colour from Army Painter would probably work just as well)3. Paint recesses with Seraphim Sepia - use a small detail brush and load it up with wash4. Relayer armour plates with Ushabti Bone (this is why I use a detail brush at stage 3; it means that stage 4 is less work!)5. Highlight all armour plates with Screaming Skull6. Highlight edges of armour plates with White Scar
